Our development process started with a little disaster: electricity went off in our area. So while eating breakfast we agreed on what story and gameplay we will do for this LD and decided to go to the city center to D3C0D3 bar (SPb, Russia), which holds LD events every time. We thought that this place will have ideal atmosphere and, what's more important, electricity.

A little info on our game: it's graphic is inspired by Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, so my personal goal is to make it cohesive with nice bright elements. Please note, that I'm a part-time amateur artist, not a professional one. My favorite style to work in is pixel art. Today I tried a little more minimalistic pixel art than usual, it feels different from what I'm used to, and therefore is challenging.

Finished: - space background (but I will re-make it, because I think it doesn't go well with other details of the game, too detailed, gradient will look better if painted pixel by pixel) - basic Little Prince sprite and walking animation (though he may not be walking in the final version) - Sun sprite(static) - planet sprite - star sprite - rocket(bomb) sprite - 4 bubble indicators (will show the stages of conflict between planets) Print screen of the layout (not final) with all the elements for now: http://imgur.com/6j3oAgk

Getting back to work.
